Okay, it looks like Patreon realized how stupid their evil plan to charge more fees was and agreed not to do it after all. It might be just a matter of time, though, and I’m not crazy about their increasingly pro-censorship stance, either.

For now, I will leave the Patreon campaign active and continue to use it, but I’m also going to leave the big donate link that’s over with all the follow buttons going direct to PayPal. Remember that the account has Hilary’s name on it, because back a million years ago she was the one who set all that stuff up for me.

I’m still looking at Patreon alternatives, and taking this opportunity to think about how to continue to finance my comics-making addiction going forward. I’ll let you all know whatever it is I figure out.

So, you might have noticed that Patreon has announced changes to their fee structure. This is a pretty shitty move, and I’m not super thrilled with it. So, I’ve made a temporary adjustment to the tip jar button to the left of the page: it now goes directly to the donations Paypal account. The same one that used to get donations before I switched to Patreon. Right now this has Hilary’s name on it because waaaaaay back in the dark ages when we first started out she was the one who set up that account. We sent a request to PayPal to change it, but for now you can still just use it as is. You know, if you wanna…

Meanwhile, Hilary and I are scouting for a more long term replacement for Patreon. Drip looks interesting, but we’d need an invite, and we’re looking around for other options, too. Sorry about all this, Patreon did not ask anyone’s opinion before deciding and it’s kindof a scramble to find a workaround.
